both capital printers and both have been
engaged for some years on the San
Francisco Evening Post, one as fore
man and the other as assistant fore
man.
Luther Daniels is in the transfer
business at Santa Cruz and his brother,
Hiram Daniels, is in the real estate
business at Sacramento. Both former
" worked at the Fairbankses and are
we'll known in st. Johnsbury and DAN
vile.
Rev. Henry w. Jones' work and field
at Vacaville have already been men,
toned in these letters. Many readers
will remember his neice, Miss Amy
Eastman, as a student at st. JOhnsbury
academy some years ago. She is now
member of Mr.. Jones' household as
Mrs. johnson, her husband having
died. Harry Foster Jones graduates
at Hopkins academy in few weeks.
N. p. Dodge and wife, so pleasantly
known to many readers of this paper,
after spending the winter in San Fran :
cisco and San Rafael, have gone to
Grants Pass, Oregon.
Rev. Myron L. Reed, pastor of the
First Congregational church at Denver,
Colorado, was born in Barnet. He is
a man of marked ability and has a
great hold on his congregation, which
is very large.
Harvey Young, the artist, native
of st. Johnsbury, now makes his home
at Denver. Mr.. Young is so largely
engaged in silver mining that he al
most neglects his profession, though
he is now talking of going to Monte
rey to complete picture for the next
exhibit of the New York academy.
G. A. P. Kelsey, son of Major Kel-
sey, the old hotel keeper at Danville
Green, is now cashier at the old st.
Charles hotel, New Orleans. He re-
members the Danville hills with affec-
ton, but not enough to again make his
home there.
Rev. S. Lewis B. Speare of Middle
bury, St. Johnsbury academy boy of
80, was one of the Raymond party, and
with Rev. DR.. Savage of Chicago and
Rev. Mr.. Houston of Wells, Maine,
gave dignity and character to the
company, also much pleasure and in
struction to the laymen.
But what shall l say moreq Time
and space would fail me to speak of
the party in detail-the Lees, Aldens,
Caprons, Sheards, Rathbuns, Sargents,
Smiths, Presbys, Blanchards, Pevears,
Pratts, JOneses, Walkers, MoOdys,
Locks, Swans, DR.. Carbee, Silsbee and
Butler-and draw the line here, simp-
ly remarking in conclusion that the
company were not only remarkably
fortunate in freedom from accident and
sickness during journey of over eight
thousand miles, but also in the pains
taking care of the men in charge
of the party. These were Messrs.
Luther l.. Holden and A. McGreg-
or on the outward trip and Car
roll Hutchins, H. HI. Fullam, and 0.
M. Greeley on the return. No better
service could be asked than was cheer
fully given by all and the writer is
more than ever thoroughly convinced
that those who would travel with I'M
alleged pleasure, should select one or
more congenial companions and then
secure a Raymond ticket.

qualities and its beautiful white plumage will give
it a prominent position among fanciers. This
breed was originated and first bred by Mr.. George

bred very carefully by him since until the present
